RJ-45 Connections

The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard shown on the right is used for the RJ-45 terminations.

Keypad Wiring

For the KP4 or KPL keypad, the following con- nections are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to the 110 punchdown on the keypad:

CAT-5 WIRE COLOR TYPE

Brown/White. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +12V

•To determine the amount of CAT-5 wire required for the system installation, first decide how many keypads will be used, then determine the distance between each intend- ed keypad location to the planned CAS44 location. The maximum recommended wire run length is 250 feet for each KP4 or KPL keypad.

•Make sure that the entire wire path between keypads and CAS44 is clear and not obstructed by a floor ceiling joist, or masonry wall which can’t be drilled through.

INSTALLER

WIRING OVERVIEW

•Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot to connect wires with the CAS44.

•Label wires with keypad and room location. This simplifies CAS44 hook-up once the key- pads and speakers are installed.

Speaker Wiring

Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded speak- er wire can be run up to to 125 feet; 14-gauge wire can be run up to 250 feet.

When running wire, pay particular attention to the following areas:

•Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating ducts and AC wiring in the general vicinity.

•Avoid running wires close to house electrical wiring for any distance. If you have to run them parallel, make sure to space the wires at least two feet from the AC line.
